pal source of income for a fourth of
the men out of school and one ninth
of the men still in school. Two thirds
of the young people interviewed had
earned money working away from
home during the year preceding the
interview. It was the major source
of income for 43 per cent. The
amount received varied from $2 to
$1500, and the type of work from
packing prunes to grading timber.
Many of the young men had saved
some money or acquired property.
Of the total, 28 per cent had life in
surance, 39 per cent had savings ac
counts, 33 per cent owned livestock,
29 per cent owned automobiles, and
13 per cent owned farm machinery
or similar property.
Considerably fewer of the young
women reported savings or property.
Only 8 per cent had life insurance,
25 per cent had savings accounts, 10
per cent owned livestock, 2 per cent
automobiles, and 7 per cent other
property including musical instru
ments, hope chests and furniture.
Complete results of the study,
made by J. R. Beck, OSC, and Bar
nard Joy, USDA, have been pub

Bathing Dangers
i From State Board of Health
Oregon, like most of the other
Western states, has gone in heavily
for swimming pools largely because
most of its streams are polluted and
unfit for bathing purposes. Many
persons still bathe in the rivers and
creeks and they are often the people
who add to the number of typhoid
cases. When the sun is hot and the
water looks cool and refreshing, lit
tle thought is given to possible pol
lution and on a day's outing the
temptation is usually too great to be
resisted. Swimming is a healthful
exercise if indulged in properly.
From a safety standpoint the old
swimming hole is gone today. We de
pend on the artificial swimming pool
to furnish lifeguards and safe wa
ter, continually purified to give the
greatest amount of health protection.
Swimming instructions should be
included in the curriculum of every
school and should be encouraged as

a healthful and invigorating exer
cise. It must be remembered, how
ever, that man is not physically
equipped for aquatic life and there
are certain precautions that should
be taken by all those who ' engage
in this sport. Here are a few don'ts
that every swimmer should know:
Don't go in swimming for at least
an hour after meals.
Don't swim alone except under
observation of experienced
swimmers.
Don't try deep water until you
have mastered the art of swim
ming. Don't swim too far out until you
have tested your endurance in
the water.
Don't swim in pools in which the
bottom is not clearly visible.
Don't dive unless you know the
water depth is safe.
Don't stay in too long.
Remember too, that even a swim
ming pool unless it is equipped with
recirculation, filtration and chlor
ination equipment may soon become
unfit for its intended purpose. Prop
er maintenance of recirculation and
purification equipment is as import
ant as proper equipment. Middle ear
infections, leading to mastoid trou
ble are ofter traceable toinsanitary
pools. If sinus infection is already
present excessive swimming and div
ing may cause purulent material to
be carried from the nasal cavity to
the middle ear and set up infection
so persons with head colds should
.stay away from poolSj and swimmers
who are subject to colds should
avoid underwater swimming and
diving when there is any doubt as
to the purity of the water.
